I'm in the plannin stage of a little room, I know I want the full deal, carbon filter, perfect vent system, and so on, to help anyone out who can answer these questions, well say the room is about 8x8 or 10x10, I'm thinkin intake in the window bringin in fresh air? Then exhausted into another room and out that window. It'll have a couple 600's with a dual ballast. Ventilation system will be same as any other with a carbon filter. I also need to know what size of filter to use, maybe someone has a reference guide for that? So anyway thats what I'm thinkin for the room, with timers and all but heres my main questions;
1)What is the difference between passive and active intake? I read that passive has no intake fan and active has to be pretty precise but I need it layed out in simple form.
2)What is the differenece between a power fan and a blower? I think vortex is a power fan and Ive heard good things about it but whats the difference between that and the blowers? And why are the blowers so much cheaper? Are they used for intake or exhausting air?
3)What is a conversion bulb?
4)What is an environmental controller and where can I get one? I know they control things like lights and fans but I can't find too much info on em.
5)Can I get a dual (2-lamp) ballast that I can also switch from MH to HPS bulbs?
and finally, how hard is it to setup this setup, basically just hook the ballasts up to the lights and put them on a timer. And then also setup the intake and exhaust to the ducting and a carbon filter? Is it do-able for a person with no experience>?
